Sea Ark vs carolina skiff

I know this question comes up a lot but looking for some more insight. I currently run an 1860 sea ark. I love it but I'm chartering now and it's tight with gear and more than two people. I'm really considering the 24 dlx for space and stability. Plus the shallow draft. I don't want a bay boat so what are thoughts on skiff vs sea ark.

congrats on the 24dlx. water in the hull doesn't seem to be an issue with the dlx boats. i believe the issue was mainly with dlv models. i have a 19 dlx and have not had any issues. i would back out all screws in the deck and coat with 5200. i believe unsealed screws have been the cause of water in the hulls. jmo i flounder with my 19dlx and love it. very versatile boats, and much better ride and drier boats than the old hull style.
